We chat about Barbara Walker, a knitting exceptional, who passed away in December. You can read her New York Times obituary here.

If you are a long-time listener, you know we like to do something a little special to celebrate our anniversay. This episode is a little different. (Pro tip: If you've never listened to one of our episodes before, try one of the regular episodes in addition to this special one!)
For our 14th anniversary, we take a little road trip...
